Wordless Wednesday in the Garden

Lou is starting a Wordless Wednesday for gardeners. I'm not big on saying nothing, but figured I'd post one for her. I really prefer to go on ... and on ... and on. Really Wordless Wednesday is not for me. I want to tell you that these are my brassica seedlings that have been out in our beautiful sunshine for days now. My lights have been turned off since the good weather started. Maybe I'll even plant these out early. OK I promise to shut up now.

Hey there are words, that's cheating :-) I do Wordless Wednesdays now and again. I often find I then have to answer a bunch of questions in the comments so I guess it is kind of counter productive. Brassica's look nice!

You had me laughing out loud reading this post! "Hey look pictures! Wait a minute there is some words... lots of words actually - explaining how she was not supposed to use words. Oh look Daphne is just giving up entirely and explaining the pic!" LOL!

Loves those seedlings. Wordless is good me. Try think in Chinese and write in English or vice versa, that means when you read my posts think the opposite or whatever work for you. Grammar - what chu mean?

Oh I wish my brassica seedlings looked so good, but they don't. I'm giving up with brassicas altogether in the summer as they just don't work, and the winter ones are not much better. I think our weather's too extreme.

About Me

I've been gardening for almost three decades now, ever since my husband and I bought our first house. Every garden has been different. The first was small and the soil was almost pure sand. The second was larger and I had heavy clay. The third and current one which is just outside of Boston, is by far the largest even though the lot is by far the smallest. Since we bought the house new, we designed the landscaping ourselves, and the soil we added was fairly good. My challenge here is the location. We are so close to our neighbors that their houses can shade the garden.
